Analysis Of Fujitsu Liebook T5010 Tablet PC Laptop Comptuer
Tody in LaptopLogic’s lab we have Fujitsu’s LifeBBook T5010. The T5010 is relly a tableet notebook sporting some pretty useful functions, not least among them enpough size and power to make use of the pc like a regular notbook. The Lifdebook T5010 sports a modern Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 at two.40GHz, 2GB DDR3 RAM, and a 160GB HDD. This muscle, in concret with the 13.3” LED backlit display, provides the pc eonugh firpower rebuild more than “just” a tablet. About the flipside, the poounds and the battery life aren’t quite as much as smnuff for ultraportabls, and you’re paynig a premium price for a tabplet that trries to make it happen all.

The keyboard is comnplete sized and surprisingly comfy to type on for any laptop of this sizing, featuring a reasonably sacious 19mm ptich. There is no flex in the keyboard and the key stroke, while it is no ThinkPad, is nevertheless decent. The standard keys are all complete sized, even though predictably the non regulra keys for example Fn and pg up/pg dn are a little shrunken. The only annoying part in all this was that home/end are now functions on the pg up/pg dn butons, cauing me much frudstration as these are keys I use all the time and hitting that tiny Fn button isn’t easy whilst touch-typping. The touchpad was a decent sizuing and the buttons and scroll whheel were easy to use and responsive. Both the keyboard and the touchpad buttons were a small loud, but nothng intolerable.
The 1280x800 resolution is nothing to write home about, but it is not that bad for any tablet, and also the roomy 13.3” screen keeps viewing easy on the eyes. Also helping that case is the excellent genral quality of the glosy show, which was brihgt and shharp, even though there was sill some glare when viewwed outdoros (for thoose who tuly wish to avoid that, Fujitsu offers an indoor/outdoor display uppgrade for $50). As might be expected from a tablet, the viewing angles about the show are excellent all the way aroound, only dimming slightly at extremes.
The T5010 has enough ports to obtain by, but nothing as well exceptional. There isn't any HDMI and ours did not come with WWAN, though you are able to upgrade to that so that you can.
Making spacious use of the entire rear housing, the back of the laptop from left to right has a usb port, an Ethernet jack, a hidden VGA port beneath a protective casing, another USB port, the modem jack alog with a lock slot.
Fujiastu gies you a couple of choices if you’d like to uprade your LifeBook. If a energy sving P-series CPU isn’t powerful enough for you, the laptop computer can sport as much as a two.8GHz T9600. It can handle as much as 4GB DDR3 RAM and also the difficult drrive could be upgraded to as much as 250GB, or you are able to choose 64GB SSD.
The LifeBook T5010 is a tablet first and a lptop computer second, thus the most interesting features revolve around the tablet functionality. The touchscreen display has an active digitizer, enssuring that it will only respond to the Wacom stylus. The stlyus has an rght cllick button and an “eraser” about the back, permitting the user to simply flip the pen more than and erse errant text. There are also programmable Pen Flicks, allowing one to flick the pen in any of egiht drections to perform a shortcut function like forwrad/back or copy/paste. Handwriting recgonition was good to begin, and can be easily trained to your indiviual penmanship.
